--Theodore G. Ammon, Editor of David Bowie and Philosophy: Rebel Rebel (2016)

"A welcome addition to the growing body of
thoughtful writing on this thrilling musical moment. Framing its subject with a
multitude of philosophical approaches including dialectics, aesthetics, and
existentialism, this collection will spark a whole lot of debate on the meaning
and value of Post-Punk."

--David Wilkinson, PhD, author of Post-Punk, Politics, and Pleasure in Britain
(2016)

"This grand collection of essays has me revisiting every inch of a genre of music
that many wrote off as hollow echoes of art and technology. What this book
reveals is that it was art and technology born out of loss, loneliness,
anxiety, and uncertainty, and I'm here for it."

--Rob Hawthorn, co-host of the podcast,
Deep Dives and Deep Cuts: Punk, Post-Punk, and New Wave 1976-1986

"Post-Punk is sometimes seen as Punk Rock's more brainy offspring. From the Western
philosophical tradition to feminist theory and global indigenous thought, the
chapters in this exciting volume engage us in a bracingly original
thought-experiment about the significance of popular music culture."

--Gavin Butt, author of No Machos or Pop Stars (2022)

"An exhilarating collection of chapters that delve into the multifaceted topic of
Post-Punk and the philosophy contained therein. It draws upon insightful
schools of thought, explored with great articulacy, focused on a time and place
that I experienced personally. Could this be the definitive volume on the
subject?"

--Mike Joyce, drummer for The Smiths
